The Issue

  • A special two part Need to Know takes a look at land use, development and the effect of the way we use the land.

    On Friday June 25th, watch for stories about the way our population has changed, and shifted over the last 20 years. Talk to families moving in to the city- and families moving out.
  • Take a trip to The South Wedge, where neighbors are looking at controversial ways to attract new families to their neighborhood.
  • Talk to experts from the Genesee Transportation Council about traffic congestion and development.
  • On July 2nd, Need to Know takes a look at Smartgrowth. What legislation is on the table- how are individual communities trying to control growth and what’s likely to pass in Albany?

    Our guest on July 2nd will be local Assemblywoman Susan John.

    Plus - join our web page discussion group on land use, urban sprawl and development.
